4.2.8 IGMP Configuration
Figure 4-13. IGMP Configuration page
The IGMP Configuration page allows the MENCAP 50 to act as an IGMP client. Some
IGMP servers and IP routers will not transmit IP to a network without an active IGMP
client on the local network. The MENCAP 50 provides the option to allow joins (and
leaves if a route is deleted) if a valid route is present.
IGMP does not function when Multicast Zones are utilized. IGMP will only
issue join requests (and leaves) for explicit Multicast routes.
Enable
This turns on/off the IGMP feature. This Boolean is a global setting. When
enabled all Multicast routes will have IGMP enabled as is true of the converse.
Version
This allows selection of IGMP version 1 or version 2.
Report Period
This specifies the frequency with which multicast group membership is reported
to other members of the group.
